European Explorer (Plus Mykonos)

The trip was perfect for a first time traveler like me! We saw so many places in a short amount of time, so many bucket list items I've ticked off from this trip. Our trip manager Tom and driver Paulo were the best too! They made everything so easy, helped us get from A to B and made the whole trip fun!

It's was ok

The trip was ok. Looking back on it we shouldn't of done the cruise people that stayed at mykonos had more fun. We spent to much time in cities that there was nothing to do and spent less time in bigger cities and saw less. Trip manager was amazing she was helpful. We just needed some more entertainment on the bus as we were bored most of the time on there.

Contiki was the best thing that could have happened to me #noregrets

Contiki has been the best decision i have made. The beautiful places we went to (18x countires!), amazing history provided by our Tour Manager, the driving skills of our Coach Driver, the amazing humans & souls i met on this tour that have become lifelong friends that i got to experience everything with. There were good days and bad days as it was a full 33 day tour but more good days that far out wieghed the bad. Contiki was the best thing that could have happened to me and i absolutely have #noregrets

So many destinations included, slightly rushed at times but this would be unavoidable due to how much we got to see.

An experience I will never forget

There was room for improvement in the way that destinations were described to ensure that what we got matched what was advertised e.g. “travel to the Swiss alps and see snow”. However all in all very good value for money
